Morrissey signed with Pete Galli of Red Light Management.
Morrissey is released by Capitol Records, booked by WME & published by Warner Chappell Music.
Morrissey, born Steven Patrick Morrissey on May 22, 1959, in Davyhulme, Manchester, United Kingdom, is a British singer and lyricist of Irish descent who has made a significant impact on the music scene as both the frontman of the influential band The Smiths and as a solo artist. Known for his distinctive quiff, witty and sardonic lyrics, and a persona that eschewed rock machismo for a more outsider image, Morrissey became a figurehead for the indie pop and indie rock movements.
The Smiths released four studio albums—"Meat Is Murder," "The Queen Is Dead," "Rank" and "Strangeways, Here We Come"—before disbanding in 1987 due to personal differences between Morrissey and Marr Following the breakup of The Smiths, Morrissey embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut album "Viva Hate" in 1988. His solo discography includes notable albums such as "Ringleader of the Tormentors," "Years of Refusal," "World Peace Is None of Your Business," "Low in High School," "California Son," and "I Am Not a Dog on a Chain." Morrissey's work has been widely acclaimed, earning him a place as a seminal figure in the emergence of indie pop, indie rock, and Britpop. In 2006, he was voted the second-greatest living British cultural icon in a BBC poll. Despite the controversies surrounding his political views and statements, Morrissey's contributions to music and culture remain undeniable, and his legacy as a pioneering artist in the indie and alternative rock genres is secure.
